Hi there! I'm Dima. Born in the picturesque landscapes of Ukraine, my adventurous spirit first took me to sunny California for several years before settling in Seattle a decade ago. My journey with snowboarding began in my homeland, and my passion intensified in the diverse terrains of the US. While I adore park and freestyle, nothing beats the thrill of gliding through fresh, powdery snow in the mountains of Washington and Oregon. But my love for boards isn't just limited to snow – I'm also an avid skateboarder. And when I'm off a board, you can find me exploring trails on my mountain bike. Join me as we carve paths and craft unforgettable experiences!
